We celebrated July 4th a week Early at Kadena Air Force Base (KAB). We do that Because these types of fairs / block parties require additional personnel, it's long hours, lots of logistics and cleaning up afterward and so no-one loses their four day weekend to work the block party.
During the fireworks display, they played "I am proud to be an American," and maybe that's a military thing. I do not know. I choke up every time I am surrounded by personnel and their families as they sing along to the song.
Thank you KAB for taking care of all military personnel and their families with a great block party.
Thank you Gavin Degraw, for putting on a solid 1½ show.
Elizabeth, Ben and I.
